Were sooo doomed.
You think we will be worse off then Katrina? I don’t think so. The federal and state government of all states involved are on top of this. I am actually quite proud of how much they are taking this seriously. I think a lot of lessons were learned by Katrina.
“We didn’t realize how bad it was.”
You really should have had an Onion/satire tag on this.
Because there’s no way on earth it’s a serious article.

"Okay, enough with the flooding projections. I want to know if my Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday tee times at Andrews are in jeopardy. Can't you people keep your priorities straight? Do I have to think of everything!?"
I’m seeing gusts up to the high 50’s. I don’t have TV so, maybe FOX is right. But I can’t find it. The sustained winds, aren’t showing 85. If there are any, where are they?

Headline from Drudge:
“Scientist mocks: Phony “hurricane” coming on shore with 33mph winds”.
nice pink microphone, baracky.
Obviously Obama turns in yet another tour-de-FARCE showing - attending a meeting where he is obviously the least knowledgeable, least experienced, and least likely leader in the room.
Thanx

Please, what a joke. This guy has no leadership ability and could not command an tire inner tube in a calm lake.
well, he's got to decide which districts get the FEMA money, which ones get martial law.
ROFLOL, good pic!

Closer- but no cigar, gusting to 74mph. That is not a sustained wind of 80MPH. Propaganda anyone?
Barky is a clueless wonder, probably making himself a nuisance and getting in the way of people who are trying to do their jobs.
